Lex Luthor says he received a copy of The Will to Power for his tenth birthday, an extremely complex manuscript by Friedrich Nietzsche. Lex states the main concept of the text: man is something to be overcome. This is called Übermensch, which translates to "super man" or "over man." This is the second time the philosopher is mentioned (the first being the Pilot (2001)). Lex also quotes the famous line, "Behold the Superman".
In this episode Lex Luthor uses the term "superman" but he is not referring by any means to Clark Kent and his iconic superhero persona that will develop in the future. Rather, he is referencing a quote from a book while speaking with Dominic Senatori.
The symbol of Mobile Meals is ironically two hands touching. This represents Tyler Randall's ability.
Despite the fact that George Fordman was constantly mentioned in the second half of this season, this is the only episode where he actually appears.
Dominic Sanatori previously appeared providing unwanted business advice to Lex in Hothead (2001) and would return with far more sinister intentions in Season Two's Suspect (2003).
